Penny Hunt #7
I'm back! Finally got around to another hunt, and it was a doozy! Pretty odd box however, only two wheat cents, but what it lacked in wheaties it made up for in BU coppers. I must've stumbled upon a collection dump, or at least a copper hoard, because I found around 100 copper blazers, whereas I usually score 5 or 6 in an average hunt. Made the search much more exciting! In addition, I scored a few nice varieties, some 1969-D No FGs and even a
Wide AM 1998, albeit somewhat zinc spotted.

Overall a solid hunt!

Roughly a 50/50 split on the zinc and copper, wish every box was like that!
